Took my boy for a hike today with the GORUCK Rucker.
Lurker for a few months and a recently got into backpacks. Noticed myself scanning everyone’s backpacks to see if there are any I can recognize. It’s awesome seeing the variety!
Does anyone else do this as well?
I see someone with a Mystery Ranch but don’t know which one from a glance haha
Just came in the mail. Very light yet the bag has structure (stands up on its own empty lol). Aquaguard zips are actually pretty smooth. Let me know if there’s anything specific people are interested in knowing about the bag I’ll try to post pics.
My current career stage is not amenable to frequent travel, but when I do, I have unknowingly been a onebagger prior to even discovering this subreddit. Since frequenting here, I am amazed by all of the amazing products out there that not only better optimize any future travel plans I have, but also make my home life simpler.
Just wanted to share!
Is the bag really that much better than other options? It just seems like an echo chamber in here sometimes regarding that one bag.
I took these pictures when unpacking from a trip to Switzerland (two cities) and Italy (four cities) in March. I took the train everywhere and needed a setup that was light, compact and easy to carry all day.

I did 9 months two bagging last year and decided I wanted to try onebagging for the next 9 months. I flew full line carriers from Australia to Korea, Finland and Spain so they didn’t look at my bag. Headed to London this morning from Barcelona with Ryanair and the checkin guy looked at my 28L bag with some curiosity as I hadn’t paid for carry-on luggage. My puffer came out and I had to ditch my disposable 1.5L water bottle to make it fit but he gave me that satisfying nod of approval as he printed my boarding pass with my included personal item.
There are still a few optimisations (drone, laptop etc) I could make but I hiked about 120km this week with my full bag and it remained comfortable. I’m thankful to this community, it’s giving me a whole lot more freedom.
This is them under the seats but I also tested it in the bag sizer on the way home (when they weren’t packed so well) and they fit. This wasn’t a light pack job either, they were pretty full. Nobody was checking bag sizes though so it appears Breeze isn’t very strict with it.
A powerful magnetic clip-on pocket. Designed for running shorts, but it works well in all sorts of places, especially as an extra pocket on bags. The Systemmag + Armordon + Nexhigh flap feature 32 alternating polarity magnetic pairs to form a very secure connection you can run with. Big enough to fit a large phone, with an internal divider for organization.
I’m curious if anyone who is particularly sweaty has direct experience of a Ramielust vs mid-weight nylon/merino top in a humid summer. Breathability is the key for me in terms of staying cool, so I worry that the Ramielust t-shirt at 200gsm is going to feel heavier and more cloying than the 145gsm Daybreak option (not to mention that price of the Ramielust option is heading toward the absurd for a basic t-shirt). One advantage of that added fabric weight, however, is probably better overall drape – I find lighter weight t-shirts tend to hang off me in a rather unflattering way.
I’m often underwhelmed by the supposed magic qualities of fabrics, hence my skepticism about ramie. I also have an Outlier Ramielust short sleeve shirt from a few seasons ago and TBH I find it no cooler in summer than similar linen-based shirts.
The outlier dreamweight option is just too thin for my lifestyle ( although the holes I’d no doubt quickly wear in it would perhaps help with …
Does anyone else have this problem with merino oxfords? The merino does not hold its shape well enough to support the weight of the collar, and it inevitably bends in front.
Here’s an S120 Navy (2016) still in great condition, with the front collapsing: https://imgur.com/a/2p1AnG4
This happens with all my merino oxfords, including but not limited to Outlier. Anyone have a good fix?
At first I thought they were the same shorts, just with different inseams (based on the names), so they would basically be identical but cut off at different points. But now it seems like I’m reading that the whole fit is looser, and designed to sit higher up on the Ten Five’s?
Basically I guess now I wonder if the Ten Five’s are basically the “athletic fit” variant of the New Ways. When buying shorts in the past, say Bonobos, I generally go with athletic fit, which is described:
Our roomiest option in the seat, thigh, and leg opening, but true-to-size in the waist.
Is this basically the idea of the Ten Five’s, or have I misunderstood?
I suppose a valid answer is “buy both and see” but I’m already not 100% sure as to the sizing, so I’d like to keep the number of pairs I need to order somewhat manageable.
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I was wondering what are the differences between a Nylon Core shirt vs Wool Core shirt in terms of durability and longevity? I couldn’t find any articles that discusses the pros+cons of each.
Outlier has the Daybreak t-shirt that is 87% Merino + 13% Nylon at 145GSM with merino wrapped around a NYLON CORE (“16.5 micron top capped merino fibers from Australia are wrapped around a thin nylon core […]”)
Wool & Prince has their 78⁄22 t-shirt that is 78% Wool + 22% Nylon at 160GSM with nylon wrapped around a WOOL CORE (“We spun a 17.5 micron wool core with two small nylon filaments […]”)
Anyone else here catch this one? Thought I was done with WTF for a while and then they do this to me. Also, other than the grid linen hoodie, what other Outlier tops have been “one size”?
